Join the festivities and help us celebrate our 150th anniversary

There’s a lot happening in Ontario this year

Through Ontario150 grant programs and signature initiatives, we are engaging youth, encouraging cultural expression, promoting participation in sport and recreation, and creating economic opportunities across the province.

On July 1, 1867, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia entered into Confederation. That’s why we celebrate Canada’s anniversary each year on July 1st.

2017 will mark our 150th anniversary. This is a chance to celebrate and reflect on our history, look ahead towards the next 150 years, and embark on an exciting new chapter for our province.
